I'm new to the board. My name is Imani I recently moved from NYC to ATL and planning a wedding receptiom March 24, 2007. Me and DH married March 23, 2004 while I was on bedrest with my twins in my apt in nyc with a few family and friends. I always wanted a big wedding so we decided last month to set the date. All is going well so far and I can't wait for the big day.

What brought me to this website was a search for african american wedding hair do's... I found lot of white hair do but very few for black women with long hair.... Do you ladies know how you are going to wear your hair for the big day? Are you going to where a tiara or a veil?

If you have pic of you hair do please post them.
Can't wait to get to know you ladies

Welcome to the sistahood ms Imani. I just want to let you know that we share our wedding date! How special!As for my hair I am thinking of getting aa weave sewed in and having it curly (kinda like Tyra Banks)and I will be wearing a veil and tiara for my big day. I havent found a picture ethat I love yet but when I do I will post it....Congrats on the renewal and happy planning!

Congrats and welcome. Can't you push your date back 4 more days???...March 28th is my birthday...LOL just kidding. I have pictures of my wedding hairstyle posted on the site. You have to look for the post entitled "Bosssiieeee". Maybe someone else can tell you how to find it. Good luck.

Ok when you are done reading this post look on the left side of the screen and you will see what I mean. Do you see home, control panel,log out in 1 box? Under that is Search forums. Type in Bossieeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! and click search. The post should come up and you can see the pictures of her at her wedding including her hair.Hope that helps.....

nlbostic- I saw them you look beatiful in the picture and I love your hair.

Alvinslove- wow cant believe I found someone with the same date already congrats... I to think I want lose curls with a tiara and veil. I have long hair but it's very thin so I think I'm going to put a few tracks in so it will look fuller. If I find a picture I will post it too.

Welcome Imani! And congrats on your twins (bless your heart) and your marriage to DH. You will find almost anythign you're looking for on this board. I plan on having my hair similiar to Allies, with a tiara and viel as well. Oh, I'm Askalot, BTW. Welcome again.

My hair is thin too. I just want to make mine full enough to wear the curls. I'm getting a sew in becasue my natural hair doesnt last curled five minutes after its done. Since I have very very crazy do-what-it-wants-to-do-whe- it-wants-to-do-it-hair that will be my best bet.By the way I'm loving your avatar....

Welocme Imani,
You have come to the right place. I can't really help much I still haven't set a date yet.I think you pick your hairstyles according to your dress. I read that somewhere before. You might want to ask Niquey. Once again you have come to the place WHERE THERE IS NEVER A QUESTIONED LEFT UNASWERED!!!!!!!!!LOL

askalot over there trippin... she got like a gazillion posts, I think she just using this as an excuse to cheat her way to Queen !LOL! Congrats & welcome Imani, love your name btw! All I know is I want an updo and maybe some sweeping bangs, I have a thing for sweeping bangs. My hair is long and I wish it were thicker. I will DEFINITELY need some pieces added in for my updo.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way. ~ Pablo Neruda

I agree that there are very few sites that cover black hairstyles.. But you always google it up. Try to use keywords like 'hairstyles for black wowmen and stuff' .. another option is to check photo sites like webshots.com and flickr.com and then search for black hairstyles. You are sure to come up with loads of images and groups. Some groups in flickr even have discussions no topics and allow you to post questions.. so good luck with this..I
